10 years

I have known Paul and Tanya for a couple of years (he's my sister-in-law Sarah's brother), so when We were asked to shoot their 10th Anniversary Celebration, I jumped at the chance. I knew from Sarah's wedding, that this family was easy to work with, and really knew how to have a good time. I knew it was going to be fun and easy...and they did not let us down.


Thanks to Ian of Spirit Photography for backing me up on this one, I couldn't have done it without you!

It's a GIRL!

A few weeks ago Amanda was in for her Maternity Session, and a couple of days ago I got to meet her new little girl Eva, and take her newborn photos. She's such a sweetheart, and is going to be a knockout jut like her mommy.

Special Deliveries

Loree, from Special Deliveries Doula Services, asked me to do new head shots of her and the ladies for their website. These girls are an absoulte riot to work with (I use the term work lightly, because it was more fun than anything).

If you, or anyone you know is looking for support and coaching throughout your pregnancy, contact one of these ladies. I have seen first hand the benefits they can provide.

Now taking bookings

Life has settled down a bit and I am taking bookings again. My schedule is still a bit up in the air, so the best way to find out if I am available is to send me an email through my website contact page.

Overwhelmed

Life has gotten far more complicated than I generally care for lately, and as a result I have been forced to put my photography on the back burner for the time being.

Thank you to everyone who I have had the pleasure of working with over the last few months. You've all made my job a joy.

Hopefully I will have things sorted out and be back up and running shortly. Please continue to send inquiries, but know that I may not get back to them as timely as usual.

Thanks!
Susan

the busiest time of year!

This holiday season has been busier than usual for me this year.

I joined my cute little spook's family for their pre-Christmas celebration to capture the day for them. With 8 adults and 1 baby, it was by far the largest group I've had to organize thus far...

...apart from just the silly stuff that is...like the 'family' photo I took when Joel's family came over for Christmas Eve dinner...

Christmas day I didn't even take my Alpha out of the bag. I did get a new little point and shoot to keep in my purse though (since my other one has been acting strange since having a bottle of water dumped on top of it in October)...and Joel got me a tickle trunk to keep all of my photography props and backdrops in! I also got a new prop from my sister - a lovely lace parasol.

Boxing day my brother and his lovely wife came over to have new headshots done, as neither of them have had new ones since University, and it was time...

The 27th the family piled into vehicles and took a day trip to Calgary to visit with my little niece for her first Christmas. It was so much fun. She's 11 months old, and runs around like there is no tomorrow!

Yesterday I went round to my sister-in-law and her husband's house to take the first portraits of my brand new niece who is 18 days old today. She was such a good girl!

And today I had my last session of 2008; a maternity and family session with a couple expecting a little boy in mid January.

All that combined with the excitement of Christmas, Chris & Tenille's wedding (last post), and taking photos and making Christmas cards,
card 1 fromage!
December has been quite a busy month. I will be taking the last days of 2008 off, so I can be refreshed to get right back to it come January!

Happy New Year everyone, and thanks for making 2008 great!!
